Imfibinga Bead Sample

Imfibinga seeds—often referred to as Zulu teething beads—are traditionally harvested from a grain-bearing perennial tropical grass indigenous to Southern Africa. Valued for their durability and organic beauty, these seeds have been used for generations in beaded adornment and ceremonial objects.

This sample highlights the natural character of Imfibinga seeds, paired with complementary materials such as glass, wood, or spacer beads, allowing designers to explore scale, texture, and tonal variation firsthand. Each bead displays subtle striations and soft, earthy hues that lend themselves beautifully to lighting, accessories, and decorative applications.

As with all natural materials, variations in color, size, and shape are inherent and celebrated—making each strand uniquely its own.

Offered as a material sample for design and specification purposes.
